I was wanting to swap the automatic tranny in my '88 528e to a manual and I was wondering if anyone had a detailed guide or anything that could help me.
The pedals/master
Hard lines/soft lines
Clutch/clutch plate
Tranny/slave
shifter linkage (if it does not come with the tranny)
drive shaft
Your car already has a 3.25 diff so you can leave that.
With the flywheel the lighter the better. The 83 533i and the M5 have lighter fly wheel. I will have a 533i in a month and a half to part.

Having a donor car like Andy does makes everything MUCH easier. It sounds like you can make a good deal with him for the entire package of parts you're going to need. That's what I would do.:thumbup:
